I am going to start off eating veggies and brown rice for dinner and fruit, oatmeal and yogurt for breakfast and snack everyday to start. Then I want to slowly add lean protein and more of a variety of high fiber grains.0

1. Plan on Saturdays for the week ahead, meals and exercise, and then track it all as I go.
2. Stick to the plan, remembering that little decisions add up.
3. Get involved in the group so the accountability actually works, both for me and others.
4. Keep going.0 -
1. Keep logging my food & exercise in MFP, it works when you use it
2. Exercise 3 times a week- no excuses, this will be a tough one for me
3. Make healthy lunches- I’m guilty of forgetting and buying something nice at work. – will save me money too!0 -
1) Cook my own food instead of buying pre made pap
2) Eat way more veggies
3) Go to the gym every other day for at least 30 mins intensive workouts - if no gym for whatever reason use home gym (NO EXCUSES FOR ME)
Extra One) Drink way more water - dehydration is not good0 -
1) Eat more vegetables
2) Minimize alcohol consumption
3) Following these self care practices and understand them completely: http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-14467/9-self-care-tips-i-learned-from-losing-120-pounds.html

Love this!! Never heard of the 6 p's.
So here is my list of things I will do everyday- Log ever single day - including weekends, accurately and consistently.
- Exercise 4 hrs each week at the very least.
- Get a new battery for my heart rate monitor and use it! Then eat back exercise calories.
- Drink at least 2 litres of water/herbal teas daily. NO MORE COLA (diet or otherwise)
- Take care of how I look - put a little effort into dressing nicely/hair/makeup. Just because I'm a mom of 3 doesn't mean I can look like p*ss
- Take a little time out to myself to relax ALONE.
Sorry my list is huge and I could think of more lol. Best of luck everyone x0 -
1. the late-night snacking stops now. NOW-d'ya understand - f' goodniss sake!
2. you get back in the sea and start swimming again. Christmas is over and its time to move on, even if it means getting a wetsuit on you get moving.
3. daily yoga - no excuse and plenty to gain.
4. open MFP diary
5. put the pull-up bar up and restart bodyweight sessions.0 -
1. Start eating low carb again which for me it means under 20 carbs a day
2. no more snacking
3. exercise at least 5 days a week
4. log my food every day to keep me on track
5. get my fluid intake in every day
6. stop being so hard on myself0 -
1. To exercise 3-4 days a week
2. Sleep!!! (I get 3-5 hours at best a night now)
3. Increase water intake. I am rarely thirsty, so that one is hard for me.
4. Use a food scale for more accurate logging.0 -
The 6 Ps are my new motto. Love that!
1. Track via food scale everything. I log everything currently but have started to eye ball food portions. I have also plateaued with my weightloss. Hmmmm...I bet they are related!
2. Santa brought me Jillian Michael's Body Revolution. I will do it at 4:45 am every day until complete.
3. Continue my lunch runs 3 times a week.0 -
1) walk to work instead of taking the bus
2) taking stairs instead of elevator
3) workout 5 times a week for at least 30 mins
4) portion control instead of stuffing myself full every time
5) occasional bikram yoga/ circuit training/ pole dance classes
6) logging, logging, logging ...
made me lose 50 lbs last year, hoping to lose the last 20 too...0 -
I like all your suggestions! Here are mine!!
1. Drink half my body weight in oz of water a day. (Something I've always struggled with!)
2. Eat more veggies at lunch (I'm a teacher and usually it's just a sandwich or heated up leftovers) and to plan for lunches better
3. Get back to running 3 days a week and p90x three days!0 -
1. Start and finish T25 ( gave up once doing it)
2. Eat healthier, get in lots of veggies
3. Run my first 5K
4. Cut out sweets
5. Eat better on weekends
6. Workout 6 days a week0 -
1. Log every bite lick and taste
2. Drink more water
3. Cardio exercise at least 1 hour 3 times a week
4. Strength Training 2 times a week
5. Go dancing at least 2 times a week more if possible0 -
1. Keep drinking tons of water
2. I tell myself I HAVE to exercise at least 3x a week (but usually I do 3-5)
3. Add more strength training in.
4. Veggies - cause I always have to work on eating more of those. Also to add to this, I would like to try to get into the habit of cooking more meals. There are some weeks I get super lazy about this and we end up going out too much.0 -
Deep down, I know the changes I need to make, to be successful:
1. alcohol is a treat, for special occasions (and sometimes at the weekend)
2. Just because hubby is sitting on the couch eating icecream or potato chips, I DO NOT have to join him!
3. Exercise - when I get in the habit of exercising regularly I enjoy it, until then I just need to stick at it until it becomes enjoyable again.
4. Vegetables, if I eat more of them I don't feel hungry enough to eat large amounts of other food. I could probably add fruit here too, it's a much better choice than biscuits!
5. Don't get so hungry that I have a snack while making my lunch/dinner
6. Sugar - see number one, it needs the same treatment as alcohol!
When I put it like that, it's not so complicated. I know I have self control; I need to learn to apply it to my lifestyle/health/wellbeing in the way I do in other areas of my life.
I should probably make myself a poster with this on (but I won'tLOL)0 -
Go to the gym four times a week, five times if possible.
Cut out alcohol completely.
10.000 steps a day. I am using the Samsung gear fit and I love it!
Don't eat after 7 pm.
Drink a lot water.
Have breaks to reduce stress.
Do fun things in between!0 -
Can sb tell me how to add friends? Thx0
-
1. Track my food every day
2. Exercise more - i've been lazy
3. Eat better.
4. Stop making excuses as to why i'm not going to exercise today.0 -
1. Track every day - even the bad stuff!
2. Walk 7,000 steps a day
3. No chocolate what-so-ever (until fasting in Feb).
I think that is the best I can do for now. You are all very motivating. Thanks for the inspiration.0
